How to jsdoc annotate BackboneJS code?

Question

Has anyone ever documented BackboneJS code with JSDoc?

I'm having problems annotating Backbone constructs such as:

User = Backbone.Model.extend({

    defaults: { a: 1 },

    initialize: function () {
        // ...
    },

    doSomething: function (p) {
        // ...
    }
});

Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

I think it works somehow like this, if you're talking about the JSDoc Toolkit:

User = Backbone.Model.extend(
/** @lends User.prototype */
 {
  /**
   * @class User class description
   *
   * @augments Backbone.Model
   * @constructs
   *
   * Text for the initialize method
   */
    initialize: function() {}
})

The important bit is the position of the @lends tag!

It can be a bit tricky, but if this doesn't work try out some of the other examples: http://code.google.com/p/jsdoc-toolkit/wiki/CookBook
